after all I'm only human.

I am always taking on projects more than I can handle... Sometimes I don't even think I just do. Is that such a bad thing? Sometimes I am happy with the choices I make and other times.... Well not so much. I guess I just like to keep myself busy and don't believe in the impossible. I know their may only be 24 hours in a day, and I feel like lately I have been using all 24 hours of my day to get everything done. It's hard not to get overwhelmed, I feel like I am always complaining and fighting myself with feeling like I don't have enough time or strength to do things. But I have realized that if you just push yourself you will see that you are a much stronger person than you think you are. Sometimes it just takes that first push or step, which is always the hardest thing to do. But I'm glad that overall I can look back and think.. Wow I'm growing up every single day, weather learning the hat or easy way. I'm learning.

Easter.

Easter this year was a tad bit different. I volunteered at a flashlight Easter egg hunt in my community which was a first time for me doing it in the dark. But loads of fun. I love to see how excited all the young ones are when they leap their way trying to grab as many eggs as they can (I spotted a little girl shoving eggs in her boots). These kids are smart they know what to do when their baskets are full. I love being able to feel like a kid again by helping and participating in events such as these.

lately.

Here are just some photos lately from when my family was visiting.

all 4 gone.

I have been extremely out of the loop with my blog. With finals, family coming down, appointments, spring cleaning, work, and studying I feel like my brain is telling me... I need a break. On top of everything I had my wisdom teeth removed. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, I did shed some tears on the first day from all the anesthesia and not being able to feel my face nearly scared me half to death. But the funny thing is that when u woke up after my surgery my brother mentioned that I wouldn't stop laughing... I have no recollection of that but I have no idea why I thought everything was so funny. It wasn't as bad as I expected, I really thought it would be worse. But because my sweet boyfriend help me get my mind off things he came over and surprised me with flowers, jars of baby food, and of course sudoku (ohh he's good). He took me to the movies a few days later since I had no strength to do much but we were actually able to finally go on a date which felt so wonderful. I'm feeling much better now and trying to get my energy back, but it's all a work and progress.

As one.

My lovely cousin and one of my friends just got married, as they shared their vows and began their life together it was so wonderful to be apart of their celebration. I cannot even describe how breath taking it was to see them look into one another's eyes with so much love and passion. Weddings are simply my favorite. I love to see two people captivated by ones presence celebrating the one day that matters most to them. I think it's one of the most beautiful things that God has allowed us to see and experience. It's phenomenal to know that Gods love is like that but so much more stronger and powerful. I feel truly grateful.
